Hemi Network is a layer 2 solution that aims to unify the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks. To achieve this, Hemi develops technologies aimed at simplifying and securing the integrated use of these two networks, including:
Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM) : Hemi integrates a complete Bitcoin node directly embedded in its EVM environment.
Hemi Bitcoin Kit (hBK) : Building with the Hemi Bitcoin Kit (hBK) enables detailed, indexed smart contracts on the Bitcoin state, paving the way for DeFi Bitcoin applications that were previously impossible on an EVM.
Bitcoin superfinality : Hemi's Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus mechanism guarantees transactions a higher level of security than Bitcoin in just a few hours.
Trustless Cross-chain Portability
The hVM's unique awareness of Bitcoin's and Ethereum's states enables secure, seamless asset transfers between Hemi and other chains through its "Tunnels" feature.
These features make Hemi a robust solution for developing decentralized applications that require enhanced interoperability and security between leading blockchains. To learn more about Hemi: Hemi doc :

Maxwell Sanchez is one of the co-founders of Hemi Network. An engineer by training and an entrepreneur by conviction, Maxwell combines solid technical expertise with a long-term vision of the role that blockchains can play in the evolution of the internet. Through Hemi, he is committed to building a faster, more inclusive network that is resolutely focused on creators and communities.
Co-founder and CTO of VeriBlock, he co-invented the Proof-of-Proof (PoP) protocol for decentralized, permissionless security inheritance for Bitcoin. Prior to leading the technical architecture at Hemi, he also launched the first testnet using post-quantum cryptography and discovered consensus vulnerabilities in several blockchain projects.
Recognized for his ability to explain complex concepts in simple terms, he is also appreciated for his calm and strategic leadership, which enables him to bring together international teams around a shared ambition.
And if he has become a familiar figure in the crypto ecosystem, it is as much for the clarity of his ideas as for his silky hair, which has become almost as well known as the Hemi logo itself.
